When the Person Who Caused Harm is a Family Member

The Resource Project was developed using current trauma-informed guidance from the Ontario child advocacy centres, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, BOOST Child & Youth Advocacy Centre, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the Ontario Association of Children's Aid Societies, the Canadian Paediatric Society, and peer-reviewed research on child development and recovery following childhood sexual abuse.

Some recommendations have been adapted for clarity and readability.

  • That puts Rosenthal correctly between NCTSN and World Health Organization, and I completed the journal citation so it follows the same format we're now using throughout the References page.
